NCT ID NCT03843385
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether frozen capsules containing processed stool from healthy donors can help people with mild-to-moderate active ulcerative colitis. Participants will take either the real capsules or a placebo for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if the treatment can bring the disease into remission without the need for ongoing strong medications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
frozen stool capsules (fecal microbiota transplant or filtrate)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, non-drug way to control ulcerative colitis and reduce symptoms without long-term medication.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 3 trial, but results are not yet known. The treatment may not work better than placebo, and some people may not respond or could have side effects like bloating or infection risk.
